Class Description
THEATER: Austin’s style of choreography is extremely varied from Jack Cole, to Latin, to old school Broadway, and Contemporary. His approach to Theater dance incorporates Style, Musicality and Storytelling.

Another focus of his class is imparting a more cohesive process for picking up choreography quickly. His warm up incorporates elements of yoga, pilates, strength training, active stretching, and basic technique mixed with the “classic Jazz warm up.”

In every class you will have a 30-40 minute warm up, a short technique review exercise and then learn a new style of combination. He will discuss recognizing moments to copy the choreographer and when to find moments to make the choreography your own. After the steps have been taught the focus shifts immediately to connecting to the music, investigating where the steps line up with accents, and letting the music inform your choices as you begin to perform the combination. The final layer is answering the basic questions: Who are you dancing to? How can you use the given choreography to create a clear and active journey for yourself?

Austin has had the privilege to teach MANY different levels of students over the years (from beginner to Broadway Professional) and he thoroughly enjoys working with each individual student at their own level by giving modifications and adjustments. He believes in patience and creating a friendly atmosphere in class where students can feel challenged while being encouraged to grow in their artistry.
